Association columns in DocumentSet

$
0
0

There are two content types - 'DocSets' for the document set and 'Docs' for the documents inside it. 'Docs' content type consists of two columns: 'Title' and 'Document Type' (Choice)

I created a reusable workflow and associated it with 'DocSets' content type. Then I created association column 'Document Type' from the 'Docs' content type to use it further in workflow.

When I try to use command 'Wait for Document Type to equal Agreement' nothing happens. Only the following record in history: 'Waiting on Document Type'

What I'm doing wrong? How can I use results of the association column?

Thanks

Hi,

I have added content approval and workflow for notification in SharePoint 2013 blog site.

I have added mail notification when one post is created and another mail notification when post is rejected.

So condition is If approval status pending then send mail else if approval status is rejected then another notification mail will trigger.

And the workflow setting is - when item created and when item changed.

So when item created mail triggers but when the post is rejected the workflow suspended and showing the below error.

Please help for the issue

Infopath to design WYSIWYG Custom List Views on 2013

$
0
0

We are migrating to SPO 2013.  Playing with InfoPath 2013.

I know it's dieing, but InfoPath has always frustrated me.  Some much potential yet so out of touch with what users seem to need IMO.  Far from user friendly enough to let users maintain their own forms too IMO.

But really my biggest gripe with SharePoint in general is that it misses the mark with Custom lists and Views.

Why doesn't SharePoint and/or InfoPath address the need for more flexibility and Design options in the Custom List View. My users are constantly looking to build View pages that to reflect paper forms they use to have.  They always seem to have to settle for the way the list view looks.  InfoPath does not seem to address Read Only Views of List Data ??

- No List Mode (View vs Edit)

- No Label control

- Field Names do not display unless you hover over the control. 

- No WYSIWYG drag and drop designer - only grid cells.

- No easy or clear way to get URL Query string values

- No way to build complex expression fields, say I want to build a URL Link using some list field data and the ID from the URL query string on the form? Possible?

- Better/easier way to join and bind in multiple Lists and multiple data sources?

One other challenge we have is that SSRS can't be integrated into SPO and is being dropped from Azure.  The SSRS designer is leaps and bounds better than InfoPaths IMO.

Considering SPO 2013, might there be another product or IDE coming in (maybe FoSL) that will address all of these? How about Visio, Excel, PDF

Thank You.

Dynamic Page Viewer webpart

Here is what I am looking for: I have an InfoPath form with a dropdown box. In the dropdown, users will choose their selection which are individual links. The links go to different webpages with images on them.  I would like for the selected webpage to load on the same page as the dropdown box.  I am thinking of using a Page Viewer webpart.  If this will not work, I was thinking of using the InfoPath dropdown to retrieve tables. 

Thanks,

help writing dynamic URL that has spaces in it in workflow email

I have a list called "ctcLink Q & A".   I am trying to create a dynamic URL in a Designer workflow that will link to the list item.

I did put %20 in the spaces, but the workflow takes them out when it runs, thus creating a broken link.  I need some advise on how to create this URL.

This is the URL I need to reproduce in my workflow variable:

https://domainname.com/Lists/ctcLink%20Q%20%20A/AllItems.aspx


There are no mistakes; every result tells you something of value about what you are trying to accomplish.

Replicating Circulation workflow in Sharepoint Online

Hi,

I am looking at replicating the circulation workflow in SharePoint Online, but without success.

The requirement is to send a policy document to one or more employees and capture their "signature" - could be just a text field with their name printed in - when they press "I agree" button.

Idea is to make a new employee read through and capture their consent in some way.

I did research third party products like DocRead, but I am looking for something simple and within SharePoint Online.

I am not a C# programmer - greatly appreciate your help!

Connecting external list webpart to filter values

$

Hello,

I have an external list in sharepoint 2013 on premise which gets data from SQL server. I created another list (regular custom list) in SP where i want to store items which are related to the SQL items. Let's say the list is called "Details"

My idea is to add a webpart in the default DispForm.aspx in the external list which would display the data from the "Details" list and than filter the data accordingly to the item form SQL. So i.e I have an item form the external list which has the column "productID" and i want to list all items from "Details" list which has the same "ProductID".

I know this shouldnt be a problem, but when I'm creating the filter I get a following error:

Sorry, something went wrong 
An unexpected error has occurred.

Web Parts Maintenance Page: If you have permission, you can use this page to temporarily close Web Parts or remove personal settings. For more information, contact your site administrator. 

The connection works when im trying to connect two Sharepoint lists.

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance.

Get Additional Fields from Lookup for Workflow

$

Using SharePoint Online, I have 2 lists... System and Notice. 

System has the following fields:

  1. Title
  2. StandardReply

Notice has the following fields:

  1. Title
  2. Sender
  3. System (Multi-select Lookup on System:Title)
  4. Message

I have a workflow that runs when a new item is added to the Notice list. I'd like to have the workflow send an email that includes the selected Systems and the StandardReply field from the System List. The email would look similar to this:

[Notice:Title]

A new notice has been issued for the following systems:
-[System:Title] - [System:StandardReply]
-[System:Title] - [System:StandardReply]
-[System:Title] - [System:StandardReply]

[Notice:Message]

Best Regards,
[Notice:Sender]

My question is... How do I add the multiple selected values from the Systemlist to the email? And how do I access the additional field (System:StandardReply) from theSystem list so that I can add it to the email?

Thanks in advance,

Hyperlink in Visio opens in new tab

$

I have created a Visio-document with some shapes. I have set hyperlinks to other .aspx-files in the SitePages-library on these shapes, and these hyperlink also contains FilterField and FilterValue to filter a document Library.

In example:
/SitePages/page1.aspx?FilterField1=Process&FilterValue1=Processname

Every time I click on a shape the page opens in a new tab.
I can't figure out why?

Why the form opens up in my local PC Infopath and not the browser using encoded url?

$

Hi, 

I have a custom form that submits to SP13 document library.  I also has a custom approval workflow for this that sends the encoded url field to approvers.  As I test the workflow, I click on the url send in the email, it starts by opening a browser and then it asks if I want to open or save the form.  I click to open, then it opens up on my PC using Infopath.  I expect this to open up in a browser because it's supposed to be a browser form.

If I click to edit the form(or approve the form) from the Document Library list in the browser then it opens up the form with data in the browser.  

How would this work for users who don't have Infopath installed?  HOw can I configured it so when clicking on the Encoded url it would always opens up in a browser even if I have InfoPath installed?

Thank you.

How to restrict access to a submitted form?

$
0
0

Hi, 

I created a custom form using InfoPath 2013 and it submits to SP2013 Document Library.  It also has a custom approval workflow that I created in SPD2013 for the form.   Here is my requirement and appreciate some advice on what's the best practice to implement this in SP2013.

  • All of our network domain users will have access to this site to create a new request using this form.
  • The user created this form and approvers from 3 SP lists and a user from a field on the form should be the only users that can view the form after it's submitted for process.  

How can I implement the above access restriction?

Thank you.

Unable to change and re-publish existing InfoPath forms on External SharePoint lists (SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Online and On Premise)

$

Hi everybody,

I really reached the limit of my diagnostic ability... ...please help me!!!!

I subscribed an Online Sharepoint 2013 Development site to try Business Connectivity Services and InfoPath forms. Using SharePoint Designer 2013 I successfully created an external content type and an external list, including InfoPath forms.

When I use InfoPath Designer 2013 to customize the forms I can open and change them without any problems, but when I try to publish the changes I made I get the following error:

"An error has occurred. The form template has been published to the server but it can only be opened using InfoPath filler"

(please note that I changed just an existing label, without adding any new control or new fields).

If I try to do exactly the same things but with an normal SharePoint list everything works like a charm!

I noted that the main difference between the internal/external list is that with the internal list the publishing path in InfoPath 2013 is something like:

https://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>

 whereas for the external list is something like the following:

 https://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>/item/template.xsn

Trying to overcome the problem I installed SharePoint 2013 Enterprise on premise using the VM from the Windows Azure Gallery. In this case the error I get when I try to publish with InfoPath Designer 2013 is the following:

 The following URL is not valid:http://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>/item/template.xsn

and of course everything works fine with InfoPath Designer 2013 and regular SharePoint lists.

Even if I believe the problem is in general with external list and InfoPath, my external list is based on a the "Product" table from the "AdventureWorks2012" sample database installed on SQL Azure and connected to SharePoint via Business Connectivity Services.

A bigthanks in advanceto anyone who isable toprovide useful informationto solve the problem!!!

Regards,

Fabio
